New Twitter List -- Alzheimer's

You can get all the news about Alzheimer's, dementia, and Caregiving by following my new list on Twitter -- @ALZHEIMERSread/alzheimer-s

Twitter is offering a new feature called Twitter lists.

Unlike the standard Twitter Feed where you follow and have followers, the New Twitter lists allows you to control the information that is being fed onto a page without all the clutter of hundreds or thousands of people you are following.

Last night on Blog Talk Radio, Patricia Grace asked me how I keep track of all the information about Alzheimer's. She wanted to know if I have people helping me collect the information.

I keep track of all the information on Alzheimer's, dementia, and caregiving through a system I created that automatically sends me every article that appears in Google News that has one of one those three words in the headline. This has amounted to more than 3,000 articles this year.

I decided to share that information on my new list @ALZHEIMERSread/alzheimer-s. If you are interested or want to follow the list just click on the link and hit follow.

From time to time, I might decide to add a Twitter feed from other authors. When I do I will be judicious. You will receive all of my twitter tweets from @ALZHEIMERread if you join the list. ALZHEIMERSread is the twitter companion to the Alzheimer's Reading Room.

Please tell others that you believe would be interested. Or, retweet -- @ALZHEIMERSread/alzheimer-s
